[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please talk me off of a ledge? We're in a really sticky situation.

Elder child, 3rd grader, has been at our inbound DCPS school "A" since they were in Pk3. Younger child has been accepted and enrolled at the same school "A" in Pk3 for 26-27 school year. We had both inbound and sibling preference.

Elder child then lotteried into an out of bound, higher rated, different feeder pattern school "B" for grade 4 for the 26-27 school year.

We enrolled Elder child into school "B".

We are now informed that Younger child is having their spot taken away at school "A" and placed back on the waitlist (at 4th place), because although they are inbound, they've lost the weight of sibling preference.

I can't imagine that every single child accepted and enrolled in pk3 next year at school A is both inbound and sibling preference, so why are we losing a spot instead of someone else who only has inbound preference? If this had happened in September after the school year began would my Younger child lose their spot?

Do I have a leg to stand on here with admin and central office? We've already given notice at our daycare!

I didn't think they could do this after enrollment, but it makes sense to relist if younger sibling wasn't enrolled yet.  I would definitely try to figure out what the rules say but also put younger kid on some short waitlists stat.[/quote]
